As we head into late January, students delved into a unit on color and color theory. Third, fourth and fifth graders learned about (or reviewed) tints, shades, color mixing, and monochromatic colors. Then came the fun part! Working with their table team, they mixed colors and tints (add white to a color) to paint a warm colored sun at sunset. Next they focused on painting shades of cool colors (to get a shade add black to a color). The finishing touch was a silhouette of a surfer, dolphin, shark or boat. We based this lesson on a woodcut of a tsunami by Japanese artist Hokusai as well as art by South Carolina surfboard artist Drew Brophy.
